    Default Will this hit?!

    hey guys and gals, when i finally lower my VN, i was just wondering if ultra lows in the back will cause me to bottom out all the time, as i have a towbar on the back. ive chucked some pictures up to help you answer this.

    thanks heaps.

    Mate..its a tow bar, who cares if you scrape it?
    I cant avoid scraping my kit, its something you learn to live with, just be careful take it slow on places that are obviously gonna come close, and remember driving diagonal on roundabouts does actually help, its not just so the lebs look fulli sik uleh

    thanks guys..

    thats standard height btw.. ill be going ultras in the back, supers in the front.

    i know its only a towbar, but it does hang pretty low. im not worried about scraping the towbar.. just dont wanna have to drive like a 145 year old everywhere.

    thanks everyone.

    when i lowered my car (VP)...i put super lows in the rear, combined with a gas tank and 2 12" subs, it lowered it a fair bit and my car scraped with the towbar and mine sat a bit higher than that...so i took it off and it still scrapes coming out of my driveway, even when i go slow. but overall its alright. first pic is with super lows in the rear and standard fronts. 2nd pic is super lows all around.

    Yes! go VERY slow over speed humps!!! Who cares about the cars behind you tooting the horn, they'll live. My old mans ute has an issue with scraping the extractors on our driveway if you enter to quick.
